Wedding dress exchange after alterations - David’s bridal

Lauryn, on April 9, 2022 at 3:28 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 14
Please someone help me! I’m over here in tears and let me explain why. I went to Davids Bridal tried on my dream dress and it fit like a glove in the size 10. The stylist fought with me about getting a 12 because it seemed too snug and the seamstresses would make it perfect so I finally caved in and listened to her. I refused and asked for a 10. My dress came and I was swimming in it and was so confused. I look at the tag and it was a 12. I immediately took it to the store and they told me, not to worry it happens and the seamstress would make it fit like a 10 WRONG! I had no idea a size exchange was even a thing. No one even mentioned it to me. I went along with the altercations and I just picked it up and tried it on today and it’s still terrible. There’s a ton of lose fabric in the front. I’m pulling it up constantly at the freaking alteration appointment and the woman told me to get a bigger bra. I’m so upset and think I’m going to have to buy a new SAME dress in the 10.


This is probably a long shot but if I let David’s Bridal know what happened do you think they’d let me exchange even with alterations?

    Hey Lauryn,


    I'm so sorry this happened! I'm not sure they will take it back after it's been altered. You might want to try a wedding dress resell website like still white.

    I'm so sorry this happened! When you purchased the dress and signed the contract with David's Bridal, did they list the size being ordered as a 10? If so, I would request that they re-order the dress (at no cost to you), since you signed off on a size 10 dress, not a size 12.

    I'm so sorry you're going through this! David's Bridal completely destroyed my dress in alterations a week before my wedding. They did everything in theur power to rectify it and i had a beautiful new dress with perfect alterations within a few days. If they haven't altered it correctly they should do everything they can to fix the situation. If the manager won't help you go further up the chain and reach out to the corporate office.

    I would also recommend requesting that they cover the cost of the alterations that you already had done on the size 12 if the contract says size 10.
